Indonesia is vulnerable to natural disasters, such as earthquakes or even tsunami. One of the impacts of the disaster is road damages. Therefore, a sophisticated and high quality system for road maintenance is a need for Indonesia, especially West Sumatera. The system developed will really help inform and disseminate. In addition, it facilitates to plan, design, construct, inspect and repair roads. Even if in the conditions of the disaster come. Local people in the center of the disaster will know soon. This study is aimed at developing GIS algorithm to facilitate to monitor and evaluate road conditions. In addition, it will serve as guidelines for road authorities in West Sumatera, Indonesia. Steps in development of algorithm design are divided into proposed system model, database system design, and GIS and interface design. Verification and validation are performed to assess the suitability and accuracy of the system in providing road information. The road authorities in West Sumatera considers GIS has many advantages over the existing information system used. The GIS becomes a necessity for road authorities in West Sumatera because the status of West Sumatera as a disaster-faced area demands rapid, ready, and real time information for users and the public.
